As educators, we have a "moral and ethical obligation to … model use of digital media in a socially responsible way, and maintain a participatory and inclusive attitude in pedagogy and in learning environment design" (Alam & McLoughlin, 2010). 

NAU's ETC655 students are offering numerous Online Professional Development sessions under the aegis of the ETC Community, aimed at aiding educators in the assimilation of emergent technologies. Attendance for these open, complimentary professional development sessions is unrestricted. Should any inquiries regarding the sessions arise, kindly direct them to Dr. Chih Tu at Chih.Tu@Nau.Edu.

For students pursuing ETC master's degree, this presents a valuable opportunity to acquire insights from present students enrolled in ETC655. Upon enrollment in ETC655, a comparable online professional development session might be obligatory for dissemination to the ETC community.

Sign up the sessions: Without signing up, you are still encouraged to attend these sessions. The presenters may have training materials or information for the participants.

All online training sessions will be recorded and archived.
